I might comback and add some more thoughts, but for now love seeing "Shimmer" and "Miserable" on a list of #1s besides mine.

There are only a few which missed the cut for #1 because of their unavailability on streaming services. I like a full playlist with no gaps. They fell just short of #1, but instead peaked at #2. Half of the songs only had videos on YouTube available, and the other half were on streaming services, but I couldn’t fit them in. Most songs that go up to #2 usually peak at #1 in the following weeks.
Number Two Peaks Tears For Fears - Laid So Low (missed the number one spot in 1992 due to unavailability on streaming services)
Soundgarden - Black Hole Sun (the most popular grunge song of 1994 peaked at #2 for a record-breaking 12 weeks; I couldn’t fit it in)
Placebo - Nancy Boy (I couldn’t fit it in, but they would get a number one in 1999)
The Flys - She’s So Huge (the lesser known second single outpeaked their most popular hit for being much more alternative; I couldn’t fit it in)
Custom - Hey Mister (probably the most hated song on the whole board, it’s a big guilty pleasure for me, if I just ignore the lyrics. It’s so damn catchy, sorry. It missed the spot because it wasn’t available on streaming services)
Creed - Bullets (this song fell off the charts weeks after I wanted to fit it in)
Nickelback songs were never promoted to this chart, so no songs from them ever charted on my alternative chart, but their songs were promoted on the active rock format. I hope to get a chart out for that soon.

I feel like revising my number ones. I’ll be using actual weeks instead, and for most of them I’ll be using the Billboard chart that week. AAA and active charts will be utilized as well. September 10, 1988 is the first chart week for Billboard’s Alternative songs chart. That’s where I intend to start.
